Every bit as good as I'd hoped

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2013)

I've been really worried for months now that Pacific Rim was just not going to be able to live up to the level I had hyped myself up to but it did. From beginning to end it was just nearly non stop awesome. The visuals were amazing the fights the characters and the story were all so well done. Walking out I could not think of anything about this movie I did not like.
Just to try and list off some of my favorite things there was...
The characters. Though the characters did not have a ton of back story that we are shown anyway we see what we need to know. They all have there own parts to play during the apocalypse and the story though fairly simple really makes you care about those characters. I especially liked Charlie Days character I never thought I would be able to actually take him seriously because I like him so much as a comedy actor.
The story. Like I said the story is simple monsters from another dimension have brought the human race to the edge of extinction. This movie does a great job at pulling you into that world so that you can experience that alongside the characters.
The action. The fights in this movie were some of the most entertaining fights I've ever seen. The cgi was amazing and the whole movie was just a lot of fun to watch.
I was driving home and I was trying to decide what to rate this movie and I was thinking maybe 8 or 9 but the more I thought about it the more I realized that I could not think of even one small problem that I had with the whole movie.
So I give Pacific Rim a well deserved 10/10
